One of the many nondescript Nicolas Cage movies lying in some corner. Plays a private detective who is hired to find the origins of a "snuff" movie found in a very expensive vault. The rest of the movie takes you from porn shops to porn shoots and utlimately to the truth. An ordinary story, but tightly made.
